Ke20 Gearbox Into Ke30

Thought Id send this to the rollaclub brains trust!

Two Questions / Problems

 

We attemped to do a gearbox swap on a mates ke30, as the KE20 2nd gear ratio looks like is about 2 to 1, Where as the stock KE30 gearbox is about 2.25 to 1.

We came up on a few problems, being the gearbox output spline is different and one of the bolt postions on the bell housing is different.

The KE 20 box has a sticker on the top saying KE20 and has studs in the bottom plate where as KE30 box has bolts.

Whats the best way forward on the swap ?

 

Guessing get a KE20 tail shaft and drill the bellhousing ?

 

I have a gearbox simlar to the KE20 one with studs in the bottom and a 2 to 1 2nd gear ratio but it has a sticker on the top saying KE30.

The Output spline looks like a stock KE30 spline and the bellhousing also looks 3K. ( But I have not checked as have no spare tail shaft or 3k laying around)

Is this box OK for a direct swap in KE 30 with 3K

 

Thanks
